Appearance
Mid coloured golden ale. On pouring, had a small head that dissipated quickly leaving a little lacing.
Taste
Tom Thought :
Smells of apple, herbs (like Danish Aquavit) and lemon. Tastes smooth, not sweet but not too dry. Very enjoyable could drink more.
Martie Thought:
Subtle floral/herby scent with notes of honey, evocative of the Scottish highlands. Taste is extraordinarily smooth and complex, with a sweetness which is not overpowering but perfectly balanced to the bitterness of the finish. A drink which I imagine I will enjoy to excess, especially during the hot summer months. Good find T!!
